About Us

Jesus, the Foundation

Welcome to Shiloh Operations! We are a nonprofit start-up driven by a vision and mission profoundly inspired by faith in God. Nearly nine years ago, I found myself in the home of complete strangers—remarkable individuals whose extraordinary kindness became a lifeline for my daughter and me, rescuing us from a deeply abusive situation. It was during this critical and transformative period that healing began to blossom for us, as we embarked on a journey toward new lives built on the unwavering foundation of faith in Jesus.

 

While finding refuge in that safe haven, I stumbled upon the phrase "house of restoration." Those words struck a resonant chord within me, capturing my heart's desire to establish a sanctuary for others who, like us, had bravely fled from toxic environments. In the quiet moments of prayer, I sought divine guidance to fulfill my longing to give back the incredible love and support we had received. This heartfelt yearning became the seed from which my dream began to take shape.

 

Since then, I have been blessed to witness God's miraculous provision unfold in countless ways— from the successful registration of our nonprofit to the remarkable individuals who joined our mission as dedicated board members, each one sharing this vision with fervent passion. Together, we strive to create a haven where healing, hope, and restoration can flourish.

 

We are currently in the early stages of our journey, searching for the perfect property that aligns with God's plan for Shiloh Operations. Our dream encompasses a beautiful 40-acre sanctuary featuring a large main house that can accommodate up to five families for a period of six months. During this first phase, mothers and their children will receive comprehensive support—financially, emotionally, and spiritually. We will provide shelter, food, clothing, and hygiene essentials, allowing them to focus on learning about Jesus through daily Bible studies, nurturing their children, finding employment, and saving for a brighter future.

 

Following their stay in the main house, families will transition to cozy tiny homes on our property, where they can continue their journey of healing and growth for an additional six months. This second phase emphasizes the importance of strengthening family bonds and unity.

 

In addition to shelter and spiritual growth, we will offer various programs that teach vital life skills, such as artisan cooking, baking, soap making, candle making, and gardening. These programs will foster accountability and ownership while creating sustainable opportunities to fund our mission through the sale of handmade products.

 

At Shiloh Operations, we believe in the transformative power of community and faith. We are excited to build a brighter future for mothers and their children, and we invite you to join us on this incredible journey of restoration and hope. Thank you for being a part of our mission!

The Vision

Shiloh - A Sanctuary for Restoration

The vision of this organization is to provide a safe haven for women and children who have experienced trauma due to physical, emotional, and spiritual abuse.

The Mission

Shiloh aims to offer women and children a secure environment where they can live for six months free of charge. We will meet the basic needs of food, shelter, warm beds, and clothing for every mother and child.

Our goal is to help those who come to heal not only physically but also emotionally and spiritually from the trauma they have experienced. The program will include essential training in self-care, understanding children's needs, and money management. As part of the daily routine, counseling sessions and biblical studies will be offered.

Engagement in practical tasks will play a crucial role in developing skill sets among women and children. They will assist with daily responsibilities around the property, such as gardening, cleaning, and cooking, fostering a sense of accountability and responsibility for themselves and those around them.

This approach is designed to equip women and children to regain their footing financially, emotionally, and spiritually, allowing them to have a fresh start and a positive outlook on life. Our ultimate goal is for everyone to achieve complete restoration, enabling them to become prosperous members of society and the body of Christ.

During their stay, residents will learn about the love that Jesus demonstrated through His sacrificial death on the cross. This will instill in them the importance of having a relationship with Jesus Christ, helping them discover the wonders He performs in our daily lives. As our solid rock and loving redeemer, Christ will be the foundation of everything that takes place at Shiloh.

The financial needs of Shiloh will be supported through generous donations from the community, as well as Shiloh's self-supporting business endeavors.
